Qin Qi will not cooperate with the mysterious man.
The other party is too unknown, and he will not trust him easily even if his goal is the same as his.
The two looked at each other from a distance.
After a while, the young man wearing the clown mask shrugged with regret, "Well, since you don't want to cooperate, then so be it."
Yaxiao was not surprised by Qin Qi's refusal.
After all, Qin Qi kept his purpose a secret, even his own brother didn't know it, so it was not surprising that he would refuse to cooperate with him.
Qin Qi's tense muscles relaxed slightly when he heard this.
The mysterious man is very powerful and has an unpredictable personality. He is not sure whether his refusal will anger the other party. At present, the young man does not mind this.
"but… "
Just as he was thinking about it, the mysterious man's smiling voice suddenly sounded, and Qin Qi raised his black eyes and looked over.
"Can we add a friend?"
The black-haired young man wearing a clown mask said cheerfully, "If there is anything that is inconvenient for your subordinates to do, you can contact me."
Since cooperation is not possible, adding friends can also protect the villain without exposing Yaxiao's identity!
The corners of Yaxiao's mouth hidden under the mask slightly raised.
One day he would find out what the villain was trying to do.
This mysterious man named "Crowstep" was too friendly to him.
Qin Qi's eyes darkened as he watched the young man calmly walk up to him.
"The initiative to contact me is in your hands." The young man took out a light computer from somewhere, waved it at the marshal, and said slowly: "Whether you add me or not, I respect the marshal's choice."
Qin Qi looked quietly at the young man in front of him who was wearing a white clown mask. It was difficult for him to guess the other person's true thoughts through the mask.
After a moment, he raised his laptop.
Qin Qi had only seen his own butler being keen on adding friends, but his own butler was simply and enthusiastically fond of making friends.
The strange young man in front of him was obviously not so naive.
Qin Qi leaned back in his chair, looking at the young man opposite him, wondering about the other party's purpose in approaching him.
"Then I'll leave first."
After adding the friend, Yaxiao felt as if he had accomplished something big and put away his computer with satisfaction.
"Marshal, if you have anything, you can contact me on the optical computer at any time."
"Um."
Although the young man's identity is mysterious, he currently has no ill will towards them, so Qin Qi naturally will not stop him from leaving.
Seeing the villain's attitude, Yaxiao curled his eyes, nodded slightly to Qin Qi, turned and walked to the window.
Just as he was about to jump out of the window again, he caught a glimpse of the calm and steady villain out of the corner of his eye. Yaxiao suddenly thought that it was already past midnight and Qin Qi was probably unable to sleep.
However, if Crowstep was present, he would probably be even more unable to sleep.
Sensing Qin Qi's gaze, Yaxiao certainly wouldn't say what he was thinking, but instead said something casually, smiling, "Marshal, you'd better protect Sherdo."
Qin Qi paused for a moment when he heard this. He realized that the mysterious man must be referring to something. Something flashed through his mind, and he hummed, "Got it."
Well, the topic was changed successfully!
Ya Xiao is not sure about the cause of Sheldon's death, but he reminds the villain to be prepared, and there will be no problems in the end.
He said no more and jumped down from the windowsill.
The black scorpion braid flew through the air, looking very beautiful under the moonlight.
Qin Qi withdrew his gaze with a normal expression.
After Crow Step left, Qin Qi was the only one left in the room. The moonlight was gradually covered by dark clouds, and silence and darkness filled the entire room.
At present, the mysterious young man has no ill intentions, but his purpose is unclear, so we still need to be highly vigilant. However, compared to Crow Steps, Sheldon’s affairs are obviously more important.
Thinking of his cooperation with Sheldon, Qin Qi pursed his lips slightly and his eyes became a little dim.
After a while, Qin Qi got up and left the room.
On the other side, when no one knew, Yaxiao walked briskly back to his bedroom.
[Finally home.]
The system cried with joy. God knows how nervous it was when its host used the Crowstep vest to talk to the villain.
"Yes."
Yaxiao was unable to empathize with the system. He said regretfully, "It's such a pity that I didn't use the identity of Crow Step to fight the villain."
Thinking of this, his tail drooped sadly.
And this is where the system is thankful.
The villain is now too wary of Crowstep. If a fight really breaks out, there is no guarantee that the host will be caught.
Currently, the host in the boy form has only recovered less than a quarter of his magic power, and can barely fight the villain, but it is not sustainable. If a fight really breaks out, the host will definitely be defeated.
Yaxiao was naturally aware of this, he was just talking big, well, actually he only had a little intention of putting it into action, just a little.
[Host, do you intend to protect Sheldon? ]
The system thought of what the host had just reminded the villain about and asked in confusion.
Yaxiao shook his head: "Just protect the villain."
He himself had reminded the villain that if Sheldon still died in the end, either Sheldon really committed suicide, or Sheldon's death was not important to the villain.
Yashao has great trust in powerful villains.
He believed that as long as Qin Qi still wanted to cooperate with Sheerduo, Sheerduo would not die.
[So that's how it is]
The system nodded in understanding, and when it saw the host sitting on the bed to remove the effect of the Great Demon Ticket and return to the appearance of a teenager, it lowered its voice and whispered: [Good night, host.]
"Good night."
Yaxiao curved his eyes and said, his dark blue tail swaying in the air.
The villain should not be asleep yet, but with so many things happening at night, he should want to be alone and quiet, and the villain's TH value is very stable now and within a controllable range.
Yaxiao thought about it and temporarily gave up the idea of collecting demon points. He opened the mall and bought another item in the shopping cart after some hesitation.
The points I collected before are not many left, so I have to use them sparingly from now on, otherwise I won’t be able to buy my toys when new products are added to the mall.
Yaxiao turned over, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep. In his hazy state, he was still thinking about earning points when he had time.
—No little toy can escape the devil’s clutches.
The day came quickly.
Ya Xiao was in high spirits and knocked on the villain's door as usual.
Qin Qi's condition was no different from usual.
Yaxiao first observed the villain's TH value. Although it fluctuated slightly, it was still normal. He was completely relieved and raised his hand to help the villain button his shirt, saying casually:
"Marshal, you didn't get enough rest last night?"
Qin Qi knew that the butler had a strong ability to observe. He did not deny it. He hummed lightly, avoiding the boy's inquiring gaze, and naturally looked at the boxes of cufflinks. He raised his hand to choose a cufflink to put on.
When Yaxiao saw Qin Qi's actions, his attention was instantly diverted.
"Marshal, what do you think of these cufflinks?"
As he spoke, he took out the blue gemstone cufflinks that he had specially picked out in the mall. The shape of the cufflinks combined with the blue gemstones looked a bit like ghostly will-o'-the-wisp in the dark, inexplicably exuding a feeling of eerie silence.
The villain prefers to wear blue cufflinks during meetings, so when Yaxiao was choosing a gift for the villain, he chose a blue style that suits his own aesthetic.
"good."
Qin Qi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his eyes moved from the cufflinks to Yaxiao's fair face, "Is this for me?"
"Well, this cufflink is made of a special material, which has a refreshing effect." Yaxiao showed Qin Qi a bright smile, "It can relieve fatigue. The marshal should feel more comfortable wearing it."
This was specially chosen by Yaxiao last night.
I want to give it to the villain who has been up all night.
Qin Qi looked at Yaxiao's clear and pure blue eyes, his Adam's apple rolling up and down slightly, and he felt inexplicably itchy. He suppressed the discomfort, hummed lowly, and stretched out his hand.
Yaxiao raised the corners of his mouth, lowered his head and happily helped Qin Qi put on the cufflinks.
A faint fragrance permeates the air.
Qin Qi could see the slightly curly hair moving in the air when he lowered his head. After it was tied, the boy raised his head, his dazzling blue eyes curved into crescents, like a child waiting for praise.
"All right, Marshal."
"Know."
Qin Qi said, and suddenly raised his hand to rub the boy's soft hair, then withdrew his hand with a calm expression, and said: "Let's go, it's time."
Yaxiao, who was suddenly rubbed on the head, stood where he was. When Qin Qi was about to go out, he realized belatedly what had just happened.
The tail swung unconsciously.
Yaxiao seemed to still feel the warmth on his head. This was the first time the demon had his head rubbed.
[It feels pretty good.]
The system was dozing off in a rocking chair at this time and did not hear the host talking to it at all.
However, Yaxiao did not force his fourth uncle to answer him. He followed Qin Qi with sparkling eyes and said in an excited tone: "Marshal, can you rub it again?"
The boy's face was filled with anticipation and eagerness to try, which made it hard to refuse.
Qin Qi paused as he was about to walk out the door and asked calmly, "Why?"
"No one has ever rubbed my head. The Marshal is the first. I feel very comfortable." Yaxiao's tail shook behind him, expressing his true feelings frankly.
Qin Qi looked down at Yaxiao.
He remembered that the butler was an orphan.
The rubbing of his head just now was just a spur of the moment impulse of Qin Qi. Since becoming a marshal, he rarely had such emotional fluctuations. Perhaps it was because the boy's eyes were too bright that he made such a move unconsciously.
It's just a small thing.
Qin Qi naturally would not refuse, and he put his hand on Yaxiao's head again.
The black-haired boy raised his head slightly, his blue eyes showing a hint of joy, like a cat who had gotten what it wanted, rubbing against his owner's palm affectionately.
Qin Qi felt that inexplicable itch in his heart again.
He curled his fingers slightly and retracted them.
"gone."
Yaxiao naturally had no objection.
He nodded contentedly and followed the villain closely.
Giving gifts to villains actually has such benefits. Yaxiao was in an even better mood as he thought about the pile of gadgets he had in his warehouse that he bought for the villains.
Qin Qi, who was walking in front, had no idea that he was about to receive a large wave of gifts. He recalled his inner emotions just now, and a flash of confusion appeared in his eyes, but he deliberately did not think too much about it.
Together, they headed to the office where the base marshals were meeting.
Because they had to attend different meetings, after a while, Yaxiao followed Emily to leave the building early and came to the conference hall of the Butler Representative Conference.
Today's agenda was still about the base's housekeeper quota. The meeting hadn't started yet. Yaxiao was sitting obediently on the chair when he suddenly felt someone's eyes staring at him.
He looked towards the source of the gaze and found that they were the two student representatives he had made an appointment with before.
From time to time, they looked at each other, then looked at themselves, their expressions flashing with hesitation and confusion, and finally turned into determination as they walked towards him.
The main purpose of their asking this question was actually to test whether Yaxiao had changed his mind.
Before this, no student representatives had ever gone to the temporary residences at the four border bases on purpose, and Zhao Qing and Erde are still a little nervous.
"It will be all right."
Yaxiao gave the choice to the two of them.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Qing and Erde immediately realized that Yaxiao had not changed his mind. They both looked delighted and instantly relaxed, and they decided the matter one after another.
By this time, most of the delegates in the conference hall had already arrived.
Seeing that the two student representatives had such a good relationship with the border base representative Yaxiao, the representatives were all smart and quickly realized the new representative's plan.
Yaxiao should be planning to rely on student representatives to win votes.
The expressions of several representatives present were somewhat sad, and they were not optimistic about the border base's approach.
The butler representative, Burton, had thought about building a good relationship with the student representatives.
But student representatives are not stupid.
They also knew that the central city and the second-tier bases were the safest. If they could allocate more housekeeper positions in these two places, it would be very beneficial to these graduates who were about to start working.
After all, the number of vacancies determines their employment direction and is closely related to the future of these butler graduates.
So in a sense, it is a waste of effort to build good relationships with these student representatives.
Yaxiao and the other two already knew what the other representatives were thinking. In fact, this was also the reason why the two student representatives were nervous.
After all, it would be really embarrassing if they went to the temporary residence at the border base with Yaxiao and in the end there was no plan to give them a border vote.
"Don't worry."
Yaxiao easily saw what the two were thinking. He said in a brisk tone, "You are just going there to have fun in the afternoon. It is your freedom to vote for the border base or not."
The villains don’t care about the position of butler, so Yaxiao will care even less now.
Perhaps because Yaxiao's expression was too relaxed, Zhao Qing and Erde couldn't help but relax a lot, and their favorable impression of this senior schoolmate continued to soar.
After talking for a few sentences, the two student representatives left with a sense of relief. Yaxiao raised the corners of his mouth and turned to chat briefly with the representatives around him.
Ariel next to him did not take the initiative to talk.
Ariel spoke much less these days than usual, the gloom in her eyes lingered for a long time, and her mood was not good.
Yaxiao knew clearly why Ariel was in a low mood, and he also knew that his comfort would not make Ariel put aside her worries. He thought about it and decided not to disturb her.
While the representatives were sorting out the information, Yaxiao also arranged the information neatly, then lowered his head, took out his light computer and started chatting with several of his housekeeper friends.
[Bulton: I have chosen the two best taboo masters in our base to appear. I believe that as long as those two students are elegant and reserved butlers, they will definitely want to serve the taboo masters in our base when they see them.]
[Yan Chi: Come on, this matter still depends on the officers of our base. I chose to rush into the Fifth Base without hesitation because I was attracted by the military style of the Fifth Base and became a glorious steward of the Fifth Base.]
[Bulton: …]
What kind of style? Bandit style
[Gabe: Stop arguing. Just one officer per base is enough. Too many people will scare the two students.]
Yan Chi and Burton did not object in the end after seeing the news. They did not want Yaxiao's plan to go to waste, and they wanted to increase the number of housekeepers at the border base, so naturally they had to arrange everything properly.
[Gabe: Yaxiao, have you selected the officer representative of your base? ]
[I have chosen.]
Yaxiao asked Emily to help select them. There were not many taboo people in the base that he was really familiar with, so it would be best to let Emily do this.
[Gabe: That's good.]
The three housekeeper friends were very confident in the plan proposed by Yaxiao.
The two students' future careers are housekeepers, and what they care most about is their future employers.
They don't need to show other things about the border base, they just need to let the student representatives meet the taboo people of the border base, and these two student representatives will have their own ideas in their minds.
After all, although Yan Chi and his colleagues often disliked their employers, they also knew that every employer in the border base was a hero.
For students who have not yet graduated from school, the drudgery of life is not too important. Even if they are anxious about the future, they always have ideals and ambitions in their hearts.
Thinking of this, even Yan Chi couldn't help but praise him: [Yaxiao, you are really too smart. Which student can stand such a conspiracy as yours? ]
The officers they selected were all passionate young men who were eager to leave their lives on the front lines, and lived to protect the base and humanity.
No matter how hard-hearted a person is, they will be filled with admiration when they see those guardians, not to mention those simple-minded students.
In fact, most of the people in the border base are heroes who would rather sacrifice themselves to save humanity.
They just picked a few who were good at speaking.
[Yan Chi: But someone didn’t even think of this solution.]
When a certain Burton saw the news, he became so angry that his face turned red.
[Have you thought of this solution?]
[When we were student representatives before, there was no such precedent, okay? ]
Although Yan Chi was also aware of this matter, it did not stop him from laughing at Burton.
[Yan Chi: Stop making fun of me.]
BOURDON: …
You can do it.
Yaxiao didn't quite understand why Yan Chi said he was smart. He just heard the two students say they wanted to look up information, so he planned to take them to talk to those officers to facilitate the next step of voting.
Seeing that Burton and Yan Chi started arguing in the group again, Yaxiao didn't pay any more attention to them. He directly turned off the computer and waited for the meeting to begin.
When the agreed time came in the afternoon, he took the two of them to the temporary residence of the four border bases as planned.
In order not to bring too much psychological pressure to the two student representatives, Yan Chi, Burton and Gabe did not show up.
There was only one butler, Yaxiao, who led the two of them around everywhere. Of course, he was just introducing some common rules of the border base and did not involve any secrets.
These are things that the teachers at the Butler Academy have never taught.
Zhao Qing and Erde were both good students who loved learning. After entering the border base building, some officers and housekeepers they met kept a safe distance from them. The two of them unconsciously put their minds at ease and observed the surrounding environment.
This was just a temporary residence prepared by the central city for the border base, but in just a few days, the temporary residence had already revealed the style of a border base and was thoroughly marked from the inside out.
Whether it is the stern-looking officers that one encounters on the road, the thud of fists hitting flesh in the fighting room, or the sound of the machine indicating the ten rings in the shooting room, all of these make this place full of aggressiveness.
"Ya Xiao."
Mist, wearing a gold-rimmed hat, looked like a decent man. He held a document in his hand and greeted Yaxiao. When he saw the two young-looking men and women behind the young butler, Mist quickly remembered that Yaxiao had told him about this matter yesterday.
"Hello."
Mist said to the two student representatives with a smile.
Zhao Qing and Erde nodded awkwardly. They knew that the man in front of them was Marshal Qin's adjutant.
Yaxiao saw that Mister had something to talk to him about, and he asked with his eyes bent, "What's wrong?"
"Well, the Marshal needs to go to the military academy in a few days. I wanted to discuss the next arrangements with you."
Mist paused and said with a smile: "But we'll talk about it when you have time."
Military school
Yaxiao thought of the next plot in the original book and nodded, "I will contact you later."
The marshals' visit to the military academy is part of the agenda of the spring meeting, and in this plot, the conflict between the villains and the protagonists will be thoroughly aroused.
The villain's men will also die one after another, including Emily.
Zhao Qing and Erde stood behind Yaxiao, feeling a little ashamed when they saw the young man with a delicate face talking to the officer who looked like a smiling tiger and was not to be trifled with.
The officers of the Sixth Base did not have a good reputation in Central City.
Yaxiao should be younger than them.
But the other party was not afraid of the officers of the Sixth Base at all, and was even able to work with the officers calmly, neither humble nor arrogant.
Although the two of them seemed to be thinking about investigating the border base for their butler classmates, they voted rationally.
But Zhao Qing and Erde knew in their hearts that they would rather work in the central city and the second-tier bases, because neither of them was sure they could deal with the rude employers in the border bases.
But Yaxiao's existence seemed to slap them in the face, telling them that they were just a bunch of lazy and cowardly cowards.
After saying goodbye to Mist, Yaxiao turned around and saw the complicated expressions on Zhao Qing and Erde's faces. He was a little confused, but didn't think much about it. He planned to complete the task here as soon as possible and hand over the work to Mist.
"let's go."
Yaxiao took the two students to the agreed location with relaxed steps.
According to his butler friends, the officers were waiting in the cafe downstairs.
On the way, he explained the next arrangements to Zhao Qing and Erde.
When they first heard that they would have to communicate face to face with four officers, Zhao Qing and Erde turned pale and were a little scared.
"What happen to you guys?"
Yaxiao was a little confused. Didn’t they want to talk to the officers
Zhao Qing and Erde were speechless.
The two of them only thought they would be talking to one officer, so how could they have imagined that they would be facing four officers
"fine."
The two looked at each other, gritted their teeth and shook their heads.
Yaxiao, who is younger than them, was so calm and composed in front of his superiors, so Zhao Qing and Erde certainly didn't want to admit defeat.
Seeing this, Yaxiao felt relieved. After meeting the four officers, he said something to Zhao Qing and Erde, and then went to find Mist to hand over his work.
Zhao Qinghe Erde: …
Well, they are not afraid, aren’t they just facing four taboo people alone!
—Inside the office
The two protagonists, Wei Shi and Qin Chen, happened to learn from the Third Base Marshal's son, Gert, that the Marshal had performed a craniotomy on someone.
"Craniotomy?"
Qin Chen's face turned a little dark. He didn't know when Qin Qi developed such a hobby.
Wei Shi was still calm: "There must be something wrong with that person."
They can look into it later. "Don't let it be known that I said that."
Gert said worriedly, otherwise his father would definitely beat him if he knew that he had revealed these things casually.
"do not worry."
Wei Shi said soothingly.
Gert is a military boy who lives off his parents. His father is the doting Marshal Gervin. Although he is quite smart, he is a bit naive and trusts his friends very much.
Hearing Wei Shi's words, Gert was relieved instantly. Then he thought of something and turned to ask Qin Chen: "I remember you are an instructor at the military academy? Are you going to take a leave in a few days?"
Marshal Qin and Qin Chen had a falling out, but in a few days the marshals from several bases would go to the military academy for training.
If this happened to run into Marshal Qin's gun, Qin Chen would be finished.
"It's better to go out and hide."
Gert thinks his life is more important.
When Qin Chen heard this, his face turned even darker.
"Why are you hiding? Can Qin Qi kill me?"
He still needs to check the news, how could he hide!
